Furiijio Likes to Run

At least he's hardy.
Also long walks on the beach, and pretty flowers.

Guys, it has no legs.

If ever there was a randomized personality, it was this Pokemon's. Seriously though, there is a bigger problem here:

Pokemon have one-sentence personalities.

Your beloved creatures are simplified to "Eats pastries on Sundays", or "Slaughtered its entire family". This game obviously doesn't understand the emotional depth of your Pokemon. They don't get that your Pokemon get sad if they sit in your box for forever, or get jealous if they're never given a chance to fight. They just "Like to run", without legs.

In Furiijio's case, his personality is a cruel joke on his life. He likes to run, but will never have the opportunity-- he simply hovers. His only defining characteristic is his wish to gallop, to saunter, but he has to go through life floating. The only way it could be worse would be if his personality sentence was "likes to play in volcanoes", or something, but this is pretty horrible.

It's like they're making fun of the disabled.

I would like a moment of silence for Furiijio.

Not everybody has legs.


Does this attachment to fictional characters make me look hipster?
